by competent and approved persons, of farms under their claim, as also to an ecuitable reduction of the back rents in- curred thereon, the said valuation shall be made good and secured to them at once; and to those who agree to the fore- coing, the farmers of the Tenant League hereby pledge themselves to refuse pay- ing anything ti!) they comply as aforesaid; mereover, that no leaguer will ever enter on a farm from whence any tenant will- ing to pay as above has been evicted, neither will he even bid for or purchase any property distrained or sold tor rent, nor even act as bailiff, or lodge in his house, or assiet any bailiff distressing or distraining for rent, until justice by the proprietor or grantor is first agreed to and obtained.

Proposed by Mr. Michael] Hughes, se- conded by Mr. Mark Webster:

6th. That the Legislature be applied to immediately after the opening of the Session to prepare a bill, and endeavour by all possible means to have it passed mato a law, embodying the principles of the foregoing resolutions, or those before then to be agreed to at general meetings of the colony, that they be requested to abandon the proposition of purchasing from the Grantors with monies borrowed on mortgage or otherwise, from England, but that the tenant or farmer may have

, ’ ; ; { the right by Law of purchasing his farin | in fee, ata rate not exceeding 5s. or 6s, by the acre, and that the members refus- ing to press the aforesaid be respectfully requested to resign their places.

Proposed by Mr. John Kelly, seconded by Mr. James Traynor, jun,

Th. That the most eminent of the Catholic Hierarchy of [reland—the flower of the Bar, and the ornament of the Pres- byterian Church in that country, unani- mously call on their countrymen to unite for tenant-right—that the time of Land- lord oppression and feudal thraldom is now thereby to pass away for ever—that the occupiers of the soil are entitied to have their right to the property wherein ‘hey expend their labour recognized and secured to them by law, as well ag right ‘latmed by the !andlord ; therefore where

INTERCEPTED LETTER, Briefiess Hall, Charlottetown, 10th May, 1851. My peak Docror Bo_.us—

The Election for those members of the celebrated majority, who accepted offices, will now soon take place, and I am ex- geedingly vlad to hear that you will offer for Pope’s District. No stone must be left unturned to keep him out. If we! succeed, what a gloricus victory it wili , be! Many of the voters in that part, par- | ticularly in Jyot 19, a8 F stated on the, floor of the House—“ are prone to convi- viviality, and the meetings ¢alled by them did not include the industrious, sober minded, and respectable portion of the community ;” therefore, the three casks of stuff which you sent up, with proper management, will buy many of them over to our way of thinking, A keg or two of Tobacco, and a Box of Pipes, will also}

be necessary to satisfy their desires; and , whatever else you do, don’t forget to ex- pend the £50 which we have subscribed for the purpose of keeping him out, to; the best advantage, for to tell the truth, | cash is mighty scarce just now. You know | have lost the silk Gown, and with it all the pickings | used to get. People say I am rather slow and tedious,

mueh public business, to which durmg the past stormy winter, the whole of my time and talent was devoted—and so far—- between you and me, itis very annoying to have to acknowledge that our side has been regularly defeated, after all my plodding avd hard work, which were in- cessant day and night. This not only made great inreads ow my pecuniary cir- cumstances, having te provide so much fuel aad candle hght during the winter; but more than all, my constitution is de- stroyed, feeling as [ now do that my knees are fairly knocking together, caus- ed principally, | suppose, from inhaling the poisonous gas which escaped from the “ Cole,” and which has almost suffo- eated me, so that [ ain afraid [| shal! never again be disinfected. ‘The Bill of costs, too, that | obtained about six weeks since,

it having been expended in giving an op- position feed to the minority ; thank | goodness the number is very small, or it Duncans pay. too, isa consideration which [ eannot for- get... Don’t say anything to the People of how anxious I was co fix the future sa- lary of the Master ef the Rolls at £500 per annum. And how it was defeated, | but if they should find fault, you may say to them, that # don’t expect lo get wt. I think, therefore, after due consideration, you will gay with me, that in fair play, | cannot be expected to do a great dea! Only reflect on such 9 condition. and say are not the times bad? A large

family (rapidly increasing)-to provide for | —the silk Gown gone—and more than) al!, my constitution contaminated by that | nasty * Cole” gas, so that (im afraid peo- | ple won’tcome near me--but though the pocket is empty and the flesh weak, yet | the spirit is wriling ; and as F shall soon receive my member’s pay, in case you | find it necessary, [ shall feel enabled to

give-a little more, and [ feel confident, by

searching well in the © theath.” some

small amount may yet be had, for there |

though our chief contributor “ Lighi land.” ernnot be expected to bleed much more | until that cursed affair of the fees i9 set— | tled. My Council coat, too—by the hye | Thad like te forget ali about it! You | kiow | have mo use for it now, and it will | surely realize something, which mey also go to the good of the cause. [It won't fit you, but | wonder if Dr. Jardine wil! not buy it. Ifhe will, he shall have a great bar.ain, besides [| recollect that you have old “ Quit Rent Jack's” which can be made to fit you by adding a few more cloths, You will then be enabled — to spert the family honors! The e:lk | oown | shan’t dispose of, ae it will make | nice frocks for the children. Of course | you have seen tue jetteran the iast Jsl- | ander, addressed to “John Water roo’, | Ksq., and signed by “ Jarye Coals.” writ. sep by me. In shoe I made a'‘iusion to

of Ward & Boot, Mik Street.lost ath u-

EGSRRESPONDRABE, |some of the new appointments, and

amongst the rest to that of the “ scion of Popery,” whom f stated to be a minor, Now, between ourselves, you know this is not the case, and the mischief of it is,80 do the people of the third District ; and should they say that J state what | know to be false, you (being so good at equivecating), can manage that very well, say by minor, ! meant gold digger, fer the people sre so ignorant that they won’t know any better. I should have made a handle of this appontment and said much more abou it, had f not been one of the Council to appoint the said * minor” to quite as responsible an

office 4 years since—an office now held

by my Ddrother-in-law,—besides, I have another reason—that is, that [have one

or two brothers in office, one a Commis-

sioner of Smal] Debts, Commissioner of Roads and Justice of the Peace, in which latter capacity he lately showed a very erlensive knowledge of the Law, by con- victing a poor old woman on the evidence of her husband, for selling spirituous L.-

| quors without license, and sending her to

prison for nonpayment of the fine—where she had te remain until her friends em- ployed &n Attorney, who immediately

| obtatned an order from the Judge for her

discharge. Say nothing about this, how- ever, for the appointment was made by myself, when I got Wellner turned out.

Be sure and tell the people that Pope has changed his coat, but don’t jet on that I violated my word for the sake of retain- ing that villainous silk gown, which ts now of little use to me,and refused to resign my seat at the Council board after making a written pledge so to do.

Perliaps it would also be aa well to tei! your tenantry that you wili forgive them a year’s rent, but don’t forget to give them recetpls this time, and they will publish to their neighbours whata noble fellow the Doctor is.

Ever voura,

EDWARD MIGNIONETTE, Doctor Boius, Lot 26, Bedeque.

P. S. Lhave been trying hard to get the Ex-Attorney General to atart, and if possible to split Pope’s interest; but it’s no go, he won't consent. Let me hear from you seon.
